INTRODUCTION. 


O WING to the unprecedented demand for our 
Customs Tariff, we now publish our Fourth 
Edition revised to January i, 1906. This revised 
edition is based on the various decisions rendered 
by the Treasury Department, the Board of U. S. 
General Appraisers and the United States Courts, 
and the greatest care has been exercised in every 
detail. 

Owing to the nature of the work, we cannot 
agree to accept any responsibility in the event of 
a discrepancy, since the tariff bill contains provisos 
which may be open to judicial interpretation. We 
will be glad to consider and explain any doubtful 
questions that may be of interest to importers.

MARKET VALUE. 


All merchandise imported into the United States must 
be invoiced when actually purchased, at the foreign price 
actually paid for same, but should not be entered at less 
than the foreign market value. If goods are purchased at 
less than their market value, addition of the difference 
should be made by the importer at time of entry. The 
foreign market value of merchandise is the price at which 
the goods are openly offered in the principal markets of 
the country from which they are exported to the United 
States, and the price at which any one can purchase same 
in the usual wholesale quantities for net cash at time of 
exportation. 

Merchandise consigned for account of the foreign owner 
must be invoiced at the actual market value, that is, at 
the prices for which they could be purchased in the open 
market. 

Invoices must be made out in full detail, showing the 
exact cost or market value of each article and the exact 
contents of each package; also showing separately the 
cost of packing, including boxes, cartons, etc., for putting 
the merchandise in condition to ship. 

Invoices must also be made out in the currency of the 
country from which the goods come, or, if purchased, in 
the currency actually paid therefor. 




R. F. Downing & Co., New Yokk. 


xii 


RULES FOR ASCERTAINING DUTIES. 


Specific provision by name of any article overrules gen¬ 
eral provisions. 

If an article sought for is not found in the schedule, look 
for the material of which it is composed. Whenever duty 
is levied upon the ton weight the English ton of 2,240 lbs. 
is meant. 

Proof spirits are that alcoholic liquor which contains 
one-half its volume of a specific gravity of seven thousand 
nine hundred and thirty-nine ten-thousands (.7939) at sixty 
degrees Fahrenheit. All allowances for damage of any 
kind on the voyage of importation are abolished, but the 
importer can abandon within ten days after entry all or 
any portion of an invoice, provided that not less than 10# 
of an invoice is abandoned, and be relieved of the duties 
on the portion so abandoned, and the portion abandoned 
will be sold for account of the government. 

Duty is charged on all cartons, cases, crates, boxes, 
sacks and coverings of any kind, and on all other costs, 
charges and expenses incident to placing the goods, wares 
and merchandise in condition, packed readjr for shipment 
to the United States, but it is not charged upon commission 
when such commission is paid only for buying, and does 
not accrue till goods are ready for shipment, provided all 
cost of packing, etc,, are charged for, exclusive of commis¬ 
sion. Charges accruing after goods are packed ready for 
shipment are not dutiable. 




R. F. Downing & Co., New York. 


xiii 


PAYMENT OF DUTIES. 


For importers who are not located in ports of entry, or 
for all others who desire it, we can pay duty at New York 
Special arrangements regarding the advancing of duties 
can be made by corresponding with us at New York. 

Arrangements can be made with us for the payment of 
duty at any of the ports of entry in the United States where 
we have an agency. (See List of Agencies.) 

We can also provide for the payment of duties in the 
Dominion of Canada, and will furnish on application the 
rates of duty in this country. 

Goods can be entered in bond at New York and after¬ 
wards transported to Canada or any foreign country with¬ 
out payment of duty, or duty can be paid at any time; 
provided, however, no goods can remain in bond more than 
three years from the date of original importation. 


SUITS FOR RECOVERY OF DUTIES 
ILLEGALLY EXACTED. 


Particular attention is called to the fact that occasionally 
rates of duty are exacted by collectors of customs on vari¬ 
ous classes of merchandise that are, or are supposed to be, 
erroneous. In such cases we are at all times ready to 
have the exactions investigated, and, if there is a good 
foundation for a claim, we will have same tested through 
the courts without cost to the importer, except in case of 
recovery, when the usual percentage will be charged on 
the money recovered. For this purpose we have constantly 
at our disposal the very best legal talent, and also keep 
ourselves well informed as to the various points arising 
under the Tariff Act. Our special knowledge is always at 
the disposal of our clients. 

Any further information on this subject we will be pleased 
to furnish on application.

R. F. Downing & Co., New York. 


DRAWBACK OF CUSTOMS DUTIES. 


Foreign Goods. 

When imported merchandise on which duties have been 
paid is exported directly from the custody of the govern¬ 
ment, the exporter is entitled to a drawback of the duties 
paid on such merchandise, less one per centum of such du¬ 
ties; provided that the merchandise shall be exported in 
condition as imported within three years from the date of 
importation, that the duties paid thereon shall not be less 
than fifty dollars, that official custody thereof shall have 
been continuous, and that proper entry for exportation 
shall have been made. » 

Articles of Domestic Manufacture. 

All articles made wholly from imported materials, and 
many articles made partly from such materials, are entitled 
on exportation to a drawback of the duties paid on the ma¬ 
terials used in their manufacture, less one per centum of 
such duties. 

If any imported materials are used in the manufacture of 
an article made in part from domestic materials', and the 
imported materials or the parts made from such materials 
shall so appear in the completed article that the quantity 
or measure thereof may be ascertained, such article is en¬ 
titled on exportation to a drawback of the duties paid on 
the imported materials used, less one per centum of such 
duties. 

Such drawback is allowed under general and special regu¬ 
lations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. 

Before drawback can be paid on any article the Secretary 
of the Treasury must have information relative to the facts 
and conditions of the manufacture or production of the 
article, that he may determine whether it is covered by the 
terms of the law. If the article is entitled to drawback, 
the Secretary must have full knowledge of kinds of mate¬ 
rials used, process of manufacture, and wastage of mate¬ 
rial in such process, that he may prescribe the necessary 


0 





R. F. Downing & Co., New York. 


xv 


special regulations governing inspection, ascertainment of 
quality, and rate of allowance. 

Our experience in securing the establishment of rates of 
allowance on articles not before placed on the drawback 
schedule has been such that we can confidently promise 
efficient service in the matter of securing new rates of al¬ 
lowance, and in having old rates revised when revision is 
made necessary by change in conditions or processes of 
manufacture. 

We have in our business a department in which experi¬ 
enced employees give their attention exclusively to draw¬ 
back matters. Our business connections at all frontier 
and seaboard ports of the country give us special advan¬ 
tages in collecting drawbacks on articles shipped from in¬ 
terior points. 

We offer the benefits of these advantages and of others 
incident to the' great volume of our business to exporters 
generally. Our advantages enable us to reduce to the 
minimum the expenses of collecting drawback on “ through 
shipments.” 

Any information relative to drawback law, regulations 
or business customs will be given on application in person 
or by letter.

ADVICE TO AMERICAN TOURISTS. 


The advice to foreign tourists and immigrants on follow¬ 
ing pages applies, except that particular attention is called 
to paragraph 697, which in part reads as follows : Residents 
of the United States returning from abroad, all wearing 
apparel and other personal effects taken by them out of 
the United States to foreign countries shall be admitted 
free of duty, without regard to their value, upon their 
identity being established, under appropriate rules and 
regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treas¬ 
ury, but no more than one hundred dollars in value of 
articles purchased abroad by such residents of the United 
States shall be admitted free of duty upon their return. 




R. P. Downing & Co., New York. 


xvii 


ADVICE TO FOREIGN TOURISTS AND 
EMIGRANTS. 


The following are the only articles exempt from duty as 
the property of tourists arriving from abroad, except such 
articles as are free by law : 

Wearing apparel in actual use, or that has been in use, 
or that is necessary for the present comfort or convenience 
of the owner. Articles of clothing, which have not been 
in actual use and not necessary for the present comfort 
or convenience of the owner, are dutiable. 

Professional books, implements, instruments and tools of 
trade, occupation, or employment of the person arriving. 
This includes theatrical wardrobes of actors, when actu¬ 
ally belonging to actors arriving with same. 

Personal effects, viz,: Such articles as are worn on the 
person, or used in connection therewith. 

This includes jewelry that has been worn, or is in use 
by the owner, but only one watch is passed free for a single 
passenger. 

Books, libraries, or parts of libraries (other than profes¬ 
sional), that have been used abroad for not less than one 
year. 

Household effects, including horses, carriages and 
bicycles that have been used abroad for not less than one 
year. 

Free entry of all of the above articles is conditional upon 
the fact that they, are not merchandise nor intended 
for sale, but are simply the personal property in use, and 
intended for the use of the person bringing them. 

The above list includes everything that is free by reason 
of being the property of returning tourists. Many other 
articles are free under the general tariff laws, which will 
be found in the “Alphabetical Schedule.” The rates of 
duty on all dutiable goods will also be found in the 
schedule. 







xviii 


R. F. Downing & Co., New York. 


Upon arrivals of vessels the Custom House Officers will 
furnish blanks to passengers, after leaving quarantine, 
if practicable. If no officer boards the vessel at quaran¬ 
tine, the blanks will be furnished on arrival at wharf. 
These blanks are divided into two sections, one for the 
goods exempt from duty, according to the foregoing list, 
and one for dutiable articles. Passengers must fill these 
out carefully, giving full and true details of everything 
they have with them. If a family is arriving, the senior 
member may include everything belonging to the family 
on one declaration. 

If the contents of any one trunk or package exceeds $500 
in value, or if the dutiable articles in any trunk or package 
are such that a proper examination cannot be made at the 
wharf, the trunk or package will be sent to the U. S. 
Public Store for examination and appraisement. 

Particular attention is called to this provision of law : 
Whenever any article subject to duty is found in baggage 
which was not at the time of making entry mentioned by 
the person making entry, such article shall be forfeited, 
and the person in whose baggage it is found shall be liable 
to a penalty of treble the value of the article. 

The exemption from duty of household effects, and books 
that have been in use not less than one year, is not limited 
to those actually brought by passengers. They may be 
imported any time after the passenger’s arrival. 

To ensure safety and speedy delivery to any part of the 
United States, follow carefully the directions given in 
“ Shipping Instructions,” page 19. 

Information regarding passports, or any information 
connected with the customs business, will be furnished on 
application at any of our offices. 



K. F. Downing & Co., New York.

SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS. 


THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE CORRECT AS PER UNITED STATES 
CUSTOMS LAWS AND SHOULD BE CAREFULLY 
COMPLIED WITH. 


1. Every package must be distinctly marked with 

name or shipping mark of Consignee, and 
have Bill of Lading and Invoice made out 
bearing same mark as goods. 

2. Every package must be distinctly marked “In 

Bond to* ... 

3. Present four Invoices to the U. S. Consul for 

certification. The Consul will return two 
copies. 

4. Mail immediately one certified invoice to R. F. 

Downing & Co., 15 William Street, New 
York, and the other to Consignee. 

5. Instruct the Forwarding Agent to consign goods 

on Bill of Lading to R. F. Downing & Co., 
15 William Street, New York, and also insert 
on Bill of Lading “ For transportation in 
Bond to*.” 

6. Instruct the Forwarding Agent to mail a copy 

of the Bill of Lading to R. F. Downing & Co., 
by Steamer carrying the goods or by first Mail 
Steamer, and mail all other documents to 
address of Consignee. 

NOTE.—If certified Invoice and Bill of Lading do not reach R. F. 
DOWNING & CO. as soon as goods arrive at New York, the goods will be 
sent to “ General Order Warehouse ” by Customs Officers, thereby incurring 
great expense and delay. If value of goods is less than $100 no Consular 
Invoice is required, and goods can go forward IN BOND without exam¬ 
ination by Customs at New York ; but a complete detail of goods and 
values must be produced.

Customs Administrative Act 

In Effect August 1, 1890. 

AS AMENDED BY ACT OF JULY 24TH, 1897. 

AN ACT TO SIMPLIFY THE LAWS IN RELA¬ 
TION TO THE COLLECTION OF THE 
REVENUES. 


Section i. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of 
Representatives of the United States of America in Con¬ 
gress assembled, That all merchandise imported into the 
United States shall, for the purpose of this act, be deemed 
and held to be the property of the person to whom the 
merchandise may be consigned; but the holder of any bill 
of lading consigned to order and indorsed by the consignor 
shall be deemed the consignee thereof; and in case of the 
abandonment of any merchandise to the underwriters the 
latter may be recognized as the consignee. 

Sec. 2. That all invoices of imported merchandise shall 
be made out in the currency of the place or country from 
whence the importations .shall be made, or, if purchased, in 
the currency actually paid therefor, shall contain a correct 
descripton of such merchandise, and shall be made in 
triplicate or in quadruplicate in case of merchandise in¬ 
tended for immediate transportation without appraisement, 
and signed by the person owning or shipping the same, if 
the merchandise has been actually purchased, or by the 
manufacturer or owner thereof, if the same has been pro¬ 
cured otherwise than by purchase, or by the duly author¬ 
ized agent of such purchaser, manufacturer or owner. 

Sec. 3. That all such invoices shall, at or before the 
shipment of the merchandise, be produced to the consul, 
vice-consul, or commercial agent of the United States of 
the consular district in which the merchandise was manu¬ 
factured or purchased, as the case may be, for export to 
the United States, and shall have endorsed thereon, when 




2 


so produced, a declaration signed by the purchaser, manu 
facturer, owner or agent, setting forth that the invoice is 
in all respects correct and true, and was made at the place 
from which the merchandise is to be exported to the 
United States; that it contains, if the merchandise was 
obtained by purchase, a true and full statement of the time 
when, the place where, the person from whom the same 
was purchased, and the actual cost thereof, and of all 
charges thereon, as provided by this act; and that no dis¬ 
counts, bounties or drawbacks are contained in the invoice 
but such as have been actually allowed thereon; and when 
obtained in any other manner than by purchase, the actual 
market value or wholesale price thereof, at the time of 
exportation to the United States, in the principal markets 
of the country from whence exported; that such actual 
market value is the price at which the merchandise de¬ 
scribed in the invoice is freely offered for sale to all pur¬ 
chasers in said markets, and that it is the price which the 
manufacturer or owner making the declaration would 
have received, and was willing to receive, for such mer¬ 
chandise sold in the ordinary course of trade in the usual 
wholesale quantities, and that it includes all charges 
thereon as provided by this act; and the actual quantity 
thereof; and that no different invoice of the merchandise 
mentioned in the invoice so produced has been or will be 
furnished to anyone. If the merchandise was actually 
purchased, the declaration shall also contain a statement 
that the currency in which such invoice is made out is that 
which was actually paid for the merchandise by the pur¬ 
chaser. 

Sec. 4. That, except in case of personal effects accom- 
c panying the passenger, no importation of any merchandise 
exceeding one hundred dollars in dutiable value shall 
be admitted to entry without the production of a duly 
certified invoice thereof as required by law, or of an affi¬ 
davit made by the owner, importer or consignee, before 
the collector or his deputy, showing why it is imprac¬ 
ticable to produce such invoice; and no entry shall be 
made in the absence of a certified invoice, upon affidavit 
as aforesaid, unless such affidavit be accompanied by a 



3 


statement in the form of an invoice, or otherwise, showing 
the actual cost of such merchandise, if purchased, or if 
obtained otherwise than by purchase, the actual market 
value or wholesale price thereof at the time of exportation 
to the United States in the principal markets of the coun¬ 
try from which the same has been imported; which 
statement shall be verified by the oath of the owner, 
importer, consignee or agent desiring to make entry of the 
merchandise, to be administered by the collector or his 
deputy, and it shall be lawful for the collector or his 
deputy to examine the deponent under oath, touching the 
sources of his knowledge, information or belief, in the 
premises, and to require him to produce any letter, pappr 
or statement of account in his possession, or under his 
control, which may assist the officers of customs in 
ascertaining the actual • value of the importation or any 
part thereof, and in default of such production, when so 
requested, such owner, importer, consignee or agent shall 
be thereafter debarred from producing any such letter, 
paper or statement for the purpose of avoiding any 
additional duty, penalty or forfeiture incurred under this 
act, unless he shall show to the satisfaction of the court 
or the officers of the customs, as the case may be, 
that it was not in his power to produce the same when 
so demanded; and no merchandise shall be admitted to 
entry under the provisions of this section unless the 
collector shall be satisfied that the failure to produce a 
duly certified invoice is due to causes beyond the control 
of the owner, consignee, or agent thereof. Provided that 
the Secretary of the Treasury may make regulations by 
which books, magazines and other periodicals published 
and imported in successive parts, numbers, or volumes, and 
entitled to be imported free of duty, shall require but one 
declaration for the entire series. And when entry of 
merchandise exceeding one hundred dollars in value is 
made by a statement in the form of an invoice, the collec¬ 
tor shall require a bond for the production of a duly 
certified invoice. 

Sec. 5. That whenever merchandise imported into the 
United States is entered by invoice, one of the following 





4 


declarations, according to the nature of the case, shall be 
filed with the collector of the port at the time of entry 
by the owner, importer, consignee or agent, which decla¬ 
ration so filed shall be duly signed by the owner, importer, 
consignee or agent before the collector, or before a notary 
public or other officer duly authorized by law to administer 
oaths and take acknowledgments, who may be designated 
by the Secretary of the Treasury to receive such decla¬ 
rations and to certify to the identity of the persons making 
them, under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary 
of the Treasury; and every officer so designated shall file 
with the collector of the port a copy of his official signature 
and seal. Provided, that if any of the invoices or bills of 
lading of any merchandise imported in any one vessel 
which should otherwise be embraced in said entry, have 
noti been received at the date of the entry, the declaration 
may state the fact, and thereupon such merchandise, of 
which the invoices or bills of lading are not produced, shall 
not be included in such entry, but may be entered subse¬ 
quently.

district 

Sec. 6 . That any person who shall knowingly make any 
false statement in the declarations provided for in the pre¬ 
ceding section, or shall aid or procure the making of any 
such false statement, as to any matter material thereto, 
shall, on conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not ex¬ 
ceeding $5,ooo, or by imprisonment at hard labor not more 
than two years, or both, in the discretion of the court. 
Provided that nothing in this section shall be construed to 
relieve imported merchandise from forfeiture by reason of 
such false statement or for any cause elsewhere provided 
by law. 

Sec. 7. That the owner, consignee or agent of any im- 



ported merchandise which has been actually purchased, 
may, at the time when he shall make and verify his 
written entry of such merchandise, but not afterwards, 
make such addition in the entry to the cost or value given 
in the invoice, or pro forma invoice, or statement in form 
of an invoice, which he shall produce with his entry, as in 
his opinion may raise the same to the actual market value 
or wholesale price of such merchandise at the time of ex¬ 
portation to the United States, in the principal markets of 
the country from which the same has been imported; but 
no such addition shall be made upon entry to the invoice 
value of any imported merchandise obtained otherwise 
than by actual purchase; and the collector within whose 
district any merchandise may be imported or entered, 
whether the same has been actually purchased or pro¬ 
cured otherwise than by purchase, shall cause the actual 
market value or wholesale price of such merchandise to be 
appraised; and if the appraised value of any article of im¬ 
ported merchandise subject to an ad valorem duty or 
to a duty based upon or regulated in any manner by the 
value thereof shall exceed the value declared in the entry, 
there shall be levied, collected and paid, in addition to 
the duties imposed by law on such merchandise, an addi¬ 
tional duty of one per centum of the total appraised value 
thereof for each one per centum that such appraised value 
exceeds the value declared in the entry, but the additional 
duties shall only apply to the particular article or articles 
in each invoice that are so undervalued, and shall be 
limited to fifty per centum of the appraised value of such 
article or articles. Such additional duties shall not be con¬ 
strued to be penal, and shall not be remitted, nor payment 
thereof in any way avoided, except in cases arising from a 
manifest clerical error, nor shall they be refunded in case 
of exportation of the merchandise, or on any other ac¬ 
count, nor shall they be subject to the benefit of drawback. 
Provided, that if the appraised value of any merchandise 
shall exceed the value declared in the entry by more than 
fifty per centum, except when arising from a manifest 
clerical error, such entry shall be held to be presumptively 
fraudulent, and the collector of customs shall seize such 






9 


merchandise and proceed as in case of forfeiture for viola¬ 
tion of the customs laws, and in any legal proceeding 
that may result from such seizure, the undervaluation as 
shown by the appraisal, shall be presumptive evidence of 
fraud, and the burden of proof shall be on the claimant to 
rebut the same, and forfeiture shall be adjudged unless he 
shall rebut such presumption of fraudulent intent by suffi¬ 
cient evidence. The forfeiture provided for in this section 
shall apply to the whole of the merchandise or the value 
thereof in the case or package containing the particular 
article or articles in each invoice which are undervalued. 
Provided further, That all additional duties, penalties or 
forfeitures, applicable to merchandise entered by a duly 
certified invoice, shall be alike applicable to merchandise 
entered by a pro forma invoice or statement in the form 
of an invoice, and no forfeiture or disability of any kind, 
incurred under the provisions of this section, shall be re¬ 
mitted or mitigated by the Secretary of the Treasury. The 
duty shall not, however, be assessed in any case upon an 
amount less than the invoice or entered value. 

Sec. 8. That when merchandise entered for customs duty 
has been consigned for sale by or on account of the manu¬ 
facturer thereof, to a person, agent, partner or consignee 
in the United States, such person, agent, partner or con¬ 
signee shall, at the time of the entry of such merchandise, 
present to the collector of customs at the port where such 
entry is made, as a part of such entry, and in addition to 
the certified invoice or statement in the form of an invoice 
required by law, a statement signed by such manufacturer, 
declaring the cost of production of such merchandise, such 
cost to include all the elements of cost as stated in section 
n of this act. When merchandise entered for customs 
duty has been consigned for sale by or on account of a per¬ 
son other than the manufacturer of such merchandise to a 
person, agent, partner or consignee in the United States, 
such person, agent, partner or consignee shall at the time 
of the entry of such merchandise, present to the collector 
of customs at the port where such entry is made, as a part 
of such entry, a statement signed by the consignor thereof, 
declaring that the merchandise was actually purchased 




10 


by him or for his account, and showing the time when, the 
place where, and from whom he purchased the merchan¬ 
dise, and in detail the price he paid for the same. Pro¬ 
vided, That the statements required by this section shall 
be made in triplicate, and shall bear the attestation of the 
consular officer of the United States resident within the 
consular district wherein the merchandise was manufac¬ 
tured, if consigned by the manufacturer or for his account, 
or from whence it was imported when consigned by a per¬ 
son other than the manufacturer, one copy thereof to be 
delivered to the person making the statement, one copy to 
be transmitted with the triplicate invoice of the merchan¬ 
dise to the collector of the port in the United States to 
which the merchandise is consigned, and the remaining 
copy to be filed in the consulate. 

Sec. 9. That if any owner, importer, consignee, agent or 
other person shall make or attempt to make any entry of 
imported merchandise by means of any fraudulent or false 
invoice, affidavit, letter, paper, or by means of any false 
statement, written or verbal, or by means of any false or 
fraudulent practice or appliance whatsoever, or shall be 
guilty of any wilful act or omission by means whereof the 
United States shall be deprived of the lawful duties, or any 
portion thereof, accruing upon the merchandise, or any 
portion thereof, embraced or referred to in such invoice, 
affidavit, letter, paper or statement, or effected by such act 
or omission, such merchandise, or the value thereof, to be 
recovered from the person making the entry, shall be for¬ 
feited, which forfeiture shall only apply to the whole of the 
merchandise or the value thereof in the case or package con¬ 
taining the particular article or articles of merchandise to 
which such fraud or false paper or statement relates; and 
such person shall, upon conviction, be fined for each 
offense a sum not exceeding $5,000, or be imprisoned for a 
time not exceeding two years, or both, in the discretion of 
the court. 

Sec. 10. That it shall be the duty of the appraisers of the 
United States, and every of them, and every person who 
shall act as such appraiser, or of the collector, as the case 
may be, by all reasonable ways and means in his or their 




11 


power, to ascertain, estimate and appraise (any invoice or 
affidavit thereto or statement of cost, or of cost of produc¬ 
tion to the contrary notwithstanding) the actual market 
value and wholesale price of the merchandise at the time 
of exportation to the United States, in the principal mar¬ 
kets of the country whence the same has been imported, 
and the number of yards, parcels, or quantities, and actual 
market value or wholesale price of every of them, as the 
case may require. 

Sec. ii. That when the actual market value as defined 
by law, of any article of imported merchandise wholly or 
partly manufactured and subject to an ad valorem duty, 
or to a duty based in whole or in part on value, cannot be 
otherwise ascertained to the satisfaction of the appraising 
officer, such officer shall use all available means in his power 
to ascertain the cost of production of such merchandise at 
the time of exportation to the United States, and at the 
place of manufacture; such cost of production to include 
the cost of materials and of fabrication, all general ex¬ 
penses covering each and every outlay of whatsoever nature 
incident to such production, together with the expense of 
preparing and putting up such merchandise ready for ship¬ 
ment, and an addition of not less than 8 nor more than 50 
per centum upon the total cost as thus ascertained; and in 
no case shall such merchandise be appraised upon original 
appraisal or reappraisement at less than the total cost of 
production as thus ascertained. It shall be lawful for 
appraising officers, in determining the dutiable value of 
such merchandise, to take into consideration the wholesale 
price at which such or similar merchandise is sold or 
offered for sale in the United States, due allowance being 
made for estimated duties thereon, the gost of transporta¬ 
tion, insurance, and other necessary expenses from th'* 
place of shipment to the United States, and a reasonable 
commission, if any has been paid, not exceeding 6 per 
centum. 

Sec. 12. That there shall be appointed by the President, 
by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, nine 
general appraisers of merchandise, each of whom shall re¬ 
ceive a salary of $7,000 a year. Not more than five of such 



12 


general appraisers shall be appointed from the same polit¬ 
ical party. They shall not be engaged in any other busi¬ 
ness, avocation or employment, and may be removed from 
office at any time by the President for inefficiency, neglect 
of duty, or malfeasance in office. They shall be employed 
at such ports and within such territorial limits as the Sec¬ 
retary of the Treasury may from time to time prescribe, and 
are hereby authorized to exercise the powers and duties 
devolved upon them by this act, and to exercise under the 
general direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, such 
other supervision over appraisements and classifications, 
for duty, of imported merchandise as may be needful to 
secure lawful and uniform appraisements and classifica¬ 
tions at the several ports. Three of the general appraisers 
shall be on duty as a board of general appraisers daily (ex¬ 
cept Sunday and legal holidays) at, the port of New York, 
during the business hours prescribed by the Secretary of 
the Treasury, at which port a place for samples shall be 
provided, under such rules and regulations as the Secretary 
of the Treasury may from time to time prescribe, which 
shall include rules as to the classes of articles to be de¬ 
posited, the time of their retention, and as to their disposi¬ 
tion, which place of samples shall be under the immediate 
control and direction of the board of general appraisers on 
duty at said port. 

Sec. 13. That the appraiser shall revise and correct the 
reports of the assistant appraisers as he may judge proper, 
and the appraiser, or, at ports where there is no appraiser, 
the person acting as such, shall report to the collector his 
decision as to the value of the merchandise appraised. At 
ports where there is no appraiser the certificate of the cus¬ 
toms officer to whom is committed the estimating and col¬ 
lection of duties, of the dutiable value of any merchandise 
required to be appraised, shall be deemed and taken to be 
the appraisement of such merchandise. If the collector 
shall deem the appraisement of any imported merchandise 
too low, he may order a reappraisement, which shall be 
made by one of the general appraisers, or if the importer, 
owner, agent or consignee of such merchandise shall be 
dissatisfied with the appraisement thereof, and shall have 




13 


complied with the requirements of law with respect to the 
entry and appraisement of merchandise, he may within 
two days thereafter give notice to the collector, in writing, 
of such dissatisfaction, on the receipt of which the collector 
shall at once direct a reappraisement of such merchandise 
by one of the general appraisers. The decision of the ap¬ 
praiser or the person acting as such (in cases where no ob¬ 
jection is made thereto, either by the collector or by the 
importer, owner, consignee, or agent), or of the general 
appraiser in cases of reappraisement, shall be final and 
conclusive as to the dutiable value of such merchandise 
against all parties interested therein, unless the importer, 
owner, consignee or agent of the merchandise shall be dis¬ 
satisfied with such decision, and shall, within two days 
thereafter, give notice to the collector, in writing, of such 
dissatisfaction, or unless the collector shall deem the ap¬ 
praisement of the merchandise too low, in either case the 
collector shall transmit the invoice and all the papers ap¬ 
pertaining thereto to the board of three general appraisers, 
which shall be on duty at the port of New York, or to a 
board of three general appraisers who may be designated 
by the Secretary of the Treasury for such duty at that port 
or at any other port, which board shall examine and de¬ 
cide the case thus submitted, and their decision or that of 
a majority of them shall be final and conclusive as to the 
dutiable value of such merchandise against all parties in¬ 
terested therein, and the collector or the person acting as 
such shall ascertain, fix and liquidate the rate and amount 
of the duties to be paid on such merchandise, and the 
dutiable costs and charges thereon, according to law. 

Sec. 14. That the decision of the collector as to the rate 
and amount of duties chargeable upon imported merchan¬ 
dise, including all dutiable costs and charges, and as to all 
fees and exactions of whatever character (except duties on 
tonnage), shall be final and conclusive against all persons 
interested therein, unless the owner, importer, consignee 
or agent of such merchandise, or the person paying such 
fees, charges and exactions other than duties, shall within 
ten days after but not before such ascertainment and 
liquidation of duties, as well in cases of merchandise en- 



14 


tered in bond as for consumption, or within ten days after 
the payment of such fees, charges and exactions, if dis¬ 
satisfied with such decision, give notice in writing to the 
collector, setting forth therein distinctly and specifically, 
and in respect to each entry or payment, the reason foi 
his objections thereto, and if the merchandise is entered 
for consumption shall pay the full amount of the duties 
and charges ascertained to be due thereon. Upon such 
notice and payment the collector shall transmit the in¬ 
voice and all the papers and exhibits connected therewith 
to the-board of three general appraisers, which shall be on 
duty at the port of New York, or to a board of three 
general appraisers who may be designated by the Secre¬ 
tary of the Treasury for such duty at that port or at an) 
other port, which board shall examine and decide the case 
thus submitted, and their decision, or that of a majority 
of them, shall be final and conclusive upon all persons in¬ 
terested therein, and the record shall be transmitted to the 
proper collector or person acting as such, who shall liqui¬ 
date the entry accordingly, except in cases where an appli¬ 
cation shall be filed in the Circuit Court within the time 
and in the manner provided for in section 15 of this act. 

.Sec. 15. That if the owner, importer, consignee, or agent 
of any imported merchandise, or the collector, or the Secre¬ 
tary of the Treasury, shall be dissatisfied with the decision 
of the board of general appraisers, as provided for in section 
14 of this act, as to the construction of the law and the facts 
respecting the classification of such merchandise and the 
rate of duty imposed thereon under such classification, 
they, or either of them, may, within thirty days next after 
such decision, and not afterward, apply to the Circuit Court 
of the United States within the district in which the matter 
arises, for a review of the questions of law and fact in¬ 
volved in such decision. Such application shall be made 
by filing in the office of the clerk of said Circuit Court a 
concise statement of the errors of law and fact complained 
of, and a copy of such statement shall be served on the 
collector or on the importer, owner, consignee, or agent, 
as the case may be. Thereupon the court shall order the 
board of appraisers to return to said Circuit Court the 




15 


record and the evidence taken by them, together with a 
certified statement of the facts involved in the case, and 
their decisions thereon; and all the evidence taken by and 
before said appraisers shall be competent evidence before 
said Circuit Court; and within twenty days after the 
aforesaid return is made the court may, upon the applica¬ 
tion of the Secretary of the Treasury, the collector of the 
port, or the importer, owner, consignee, or agent, as the 
case may be, refer it to one of said general appraisers, as 
an officer of the court, to take and return to the court such 
further evidence as may be offered by the Secretary of the 
Treasury, collector, importer, owner, consignee or agent, 
within sixty days thereafter, in such order and under such 
rules as the court may prescribe; and such further evi¬ 
dence with the aforesaid return shall constitute the record 
upon which said Circuit Court shall give priority to and 
proceed to hear and determine the questions of law and 
fact involved in such decision, respecting the classification 
of such merchandise and the rate of duty imposed thereon 
under such classification, and the decision of such court 
shall be final, and the proper collector, or person acting as 
such shall liquidate the entry accordingly, unless such 
court shall be of opinion that the question involved is of 
such importance as to require a review of such decision 
by the Supreme Court of the United States, in which case 
said 'Circuit Court, or the judge making the decision, may. 
within thirty days thereafter, allow an appeal to said 
Supreme Court; but an appeal shall be allowed on the 
part of the United 'States whenever the Attorney-General 
shall apply for it within thirty days after the rendition of 
such decision. On such original application and on any 
such appeal, security for damages and costs shall be given 
as in the case of other appeals in cases in which the United 
States is a party. Said Supreme Court shall have jurisdic¬ 
tion and power to review such decision, and shall give 
priority to such cases, and may affirm, modify or reverse 
such decision of such Circuit Court, and remand the case 
with such orders as may seem to it proper in the premises, 
which shall be executed accordingly. All final judgments, 
when in favor of the importer, shall be satisfied and paid 



16 


by the Secretary of the Treasury from the permanent in¬ 
definite appropriation provided for in section twenty-four 
of this act For the purpose of this section the Circuit 
Courts of the United States shall be deemed always open, 
and said Circuit Courts respectively may establish, and 
from time to time alter, rules and regulations not incon¬ 
sistent herewith for the procedure in such cases as they 
shall deem proper. 

Sec. 16. That the general appraisers, or any of them, 
are hereby authorized to administer oaths, and said gen¬ 
eral appraisers, the boards of general appraisers, the local 
appraisers or the collectors, as the case may be, may cite 
to appear before them, and examine upon oath any owner, 
importer, agent, consignee or other person touching any 
matter or thing which they or either of them may deem 
material respecting any imported merchandise, in ascer¬ 
taining the dutiable value or classification thereof; and 
they or either of them may require the production of any 
letters, accounts or invoices relating to said merchandise, 
and may require such testimony to be reduced to writing, 
and when so taken it shall be filed in the office of the col¬ 
lector, and preserved for use or reference until the final 
decision of the collector or said board of appraisers shall 
be made respecting the valuation or classification of said 
merchandise, as the case may be. 

Sec. 17. That if any person so cited to appear shall 
neglect or refuse to attend, or shall decline to answer, or 
shall refuse to answer in writing any interrogatories, and

ing classes:

80 


metis wools, or other wools of Merino blood, immediate oi 
remote, Down clothing wools, and wools of like character 
with any of the preceding, including Bagdad wool, China 
lamb’s wool, Castel Branco, Adrianople skin wool or 
butcher’s wool, and such as have been heretofore usually 
imported into the United States from Buenos Ayres, New 
Zealand, Australia, Cape of Good Hope, Russia, Great 
Britain, Canada, Egypt, Morocco, and elsewhere, and all 
wools not hereinafter included in classes two and three. 

350. Class two, that is to say, Leicester, Cotswold, Lin 
colnshire, Down combing wools, Canada long wools, or 
other like combing wools of English blood, and usually 
known by the terms herein used, and also hair of the

351. Class three, that is to say, Donskoi, native South 
American, 'Cordova, Valparaiso, native Smyrna, Russian 
camel’s hair, and all such wools of like character as have 
been heretofore usually imported into the United States 
from Turkey, Greece, Syria, and elsewhere, excepting im¬ 
proved wools hereinafter provided for. 

352. The standard samples of all wools which are now or 
may be hereafter deposited in the principal custom-houses 
of the United States, under the authority of the Secretary 
of the Treasury, shall be the standards for the classifi¬ 
cation of wools under this Act, and the Secretary of the 
Treasury is authorized to renew these standards and to 
make such additions to them from time to time as may be 
required, and he shall cause to be deposited like standards 
in other custom-houses of the United States when they 
may be needed. 

353. Whenever wools of class three shall have been im¬ 
proved by the admixture of Merino or English blood, from

shall be classified for duty either as class one or as class 
two, as the case may be. 

354. The duty on wools of the first class which shall be 
imported washed shall be twice the amount of the duty to 
which they would be subjected if imported unwashed; and

which they would be subjected if imported unwashed. The 
duty on wools of the third class, imported in condition for

be otherwise subject: Provided, That skirted wools as

or any other foreign substance, “shall be twice the duty to 
which it would be otherwise subject. When the duty as¬ 
sessed upon any wool equals three times or more that 
which would be assessed if said wool was imported 
unwashed, the duty shall not be doubled on account of the 
wool being sorted. If any bale or package of wool or hair 
specified in this Act invoiced or entered as of any specified 
class, or claimed by the importer to be dutiable as of any 
specified class, shall contain any wool or hair subject to a

duction or otherwise, and whether such article or mer¬ 
chandise is imported in the same condition as when ex¬ 
ported from the country of production or has been changed 
in condition by remanufacture or otherwise, there shall be 
levied and paid, in all such cases, in addition to the duties

shall pay the same rate of duty which is levied on the 
enumerated article which it most resembles in any of the 
particulars before mentioned; and if any nonenumerated 
article equally resembles two or more enumerated articles 
on which different rates of duty are chargeable, there shall 
be levied on such nonenumerated article the same rate of 
duty as is chargeable on the article which it resembles 
paying the highest rate of duty; and on articles not enu¬ 
merated, manufactured of two or more materials, the duty 
shall be assessed at the highest rate at which the same 
would be chargeable if composed wholly of the component 
material thereof of chief value; and the words “compo¬ 
nent material' cf chief value,” wherever used in this Act, 
shall be held to mean that component material which shall 
exceed in value any other single component material of 
the article; and the value of each component material

more rates of duty shall be applicable to any imported

dise be marked, stamped, branded, or labeled so as to in¬

part of imported materials, or of materials subject to in¬ 
ternal-revenue tax, and intended for exportation without 
being charged with duty, and without having an internal- 
revenue stamp affixed thereto, shall, under such regula¬ 
tions as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe, in 
order to be so manufactured and exported, be made and 
manufactured in bonded warehouses similar to those 
known and designated in Treasury Regulations as bonded 
warehouses, class six: Provided , That the manufacturer 
of such articles shall first give satisfactory bonds for the 
faithful observance of all the provisions of law and of such 
regulations as shall be prescribed by the Secretary of the 
Treasury: Provided further , That the manufacture of 
distilled spirits from grain, starch, molasses or sugar, in¬ 
cluding all dilutions or mixtures of them or either of them, 
shall not be permitted in such manufacturing warehouses. 

Whenever goods manufactured in any bonded warehouse 
established under the provisions of the preceding paragraph 
shall be exported directly therefrom or shall be duly laden 
for transportation and immediate exportation under the 
supervision of the proper officer who shall be duly desig¬ 
nated for that purpose, such goods shall be ’exempt from 
duty and from the requirements relating to revenue stamps. 

Any materials used in the manufacture of such goods, 
and any packages, coverings, vessels, brands, and labels 
used in putting up the same may, under the regulations of 
the Secretary of the Treasury, be conveyed without the 
payment of revenue tax or duty into any bonded manu¬ 
facturing warehouse, and imported goods may, under the 
aforesaid regulations, be transferred without the exaction 
of duty from any bonded warehouse into any bonded 




127 


manufacturing warehouse; but this privilege shall not be 
held to apply to implements, machinery, or apparatus to 
be used in the construction or repair of any bonded manu¬ 
facturing warehouse or for the prosecution of the business 
carried on therein. 

No articles or materials received into such bonded manu¬ 
facturing warehouse shall be withdrawn or removed there¬ 
from except for direct shipment and exportation or for 
transportation and immediate exportation in bond under 
the supervision of the officer duly designated therefor by 
the collector of the port, who shall certify to such ship¬ 
ment and exportation, or ladening for transportation, as 
the case may be, describing the articles by their mark or 
otherwise, the quantity, the date of exportation, and the 
name of the vessel. All labor performed and services ren¬ 
dered under these provisions shall be under the super¬ 
vision of a duly designated officer of the customs and at 
the expense of the manufacturer. 

A careful account shall be kept by the collector of all 
merchandise delivered by him to any bonded manufactur¬ 
ing warehouse, and a sworn monthly return, verified by 
the customs officers in charge, shall be made by the manu¬ 
facturers containing a detailed statement of all imported 
merchandise used by him in the manufacture of exported 
articles. 

Before commencing business the proprietor of any manu¬ 
facturing warehouse shall file with the Secretary of the 
Treasury a list of all the articles intended to be manufac¬ 
tured in such warehouse, and state the formula of manu¬ 
facture and the names and quantities of the ingredients 
to be used therein. 

Articles manufactured under these provisions may be 
withdrawn under such regulations as the Secretary of the 
Treasury may prescribe for transportation and delivery 
into any bonded warehouse at an exterior port for the sola 
purpose of immediate export therefrom. 

The provisions of Revised Statutes thirty-four hundred 
and thirty-three shall, so far as may be practicable, apply 
to any bonded manufacturing warehouse established under 
this Act and to the merchandise conveyed therein.

against, seized, and forfeited by due course of law. All 
such prohibited articles and the package in which they are 
contained in the course of importation shall be detained 
by the officer of customs, and proceedings taken against 
the same as hereinafter prescribed, unless it appears to the 
satisfaction of the collector of customs that the obscene 
articles contained in the package were inclosed therein 
without the knowledge or consent of the importer, owner, 
agent, or consignee: Provided, That the drugs hereinbe¬ 
fore mentioned, when imported in bulk and not put up for 
any of the purposes hereinbefore specified, are excepted

vertising, dealing in, exhibiting, or sending or receiving by 
mail obscene or indecent publications or representations, 
or means for preventing conception or procuring abortion, 
or other articles of indecent or immoral use or tendency,

every offense be punishable by a fine of not more than five 
thousand dollars, or imprisonment at hard labor for not 
more than ten years, or both.

preceding sections is made, to the satisfaction of such 




129

belief, setting forth the grounds of such belief, and sup¬ 
ported by oath or affirmation of the complainant, may issue, 
conformably to the Constitution, a warrant directed to the 
marshal or any deputy marshal in the proper dis¬ 
trict, directing him to search for, seize, and take pos¬ 
session of any such article or thing mentioned in the 
two preceding sections, and to make due and immediate 
return thereof to the end that the same may be con¬ 
demned and destroyed by proceedings, which shall be 
conducted in the same manner as other proceedings in the 
case of municipal seizure, and with the same right of ap¬ 
peal or writ of error. 

Sec. 19. That machinery for repair may be imported into 
the United States without payment of duty, under bond, 
to be given in double the appraised value thereof, to be 
withdrawn and exported after said machinery shall have 
been repaired; and the Secretary of the Treasury is au¬ 
thorized and directed to prescribe such rules and regula¬ 
tions as may be necessary to protect the revenue against 
fraud and secure the identity and character of all such im¬ 
portations when again withdrawn and exported, restricting 
and limiting the export and withdrawal to the same port 
of entry where imported, and also limiting all bonds to a 
period of time of not more than six months from the date

tions as the Secretary of the Treasury shall from time to 
time prescribe.

der such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury 
shall from time to time prescribe.

chandise which shall be imported in vessels not of the 
United States, or which being the production or manufac¬ 
ture of any foreign country not contiguous to the United

tiguous country; but this discriminating duty shall not 
apply to goods, wares or merchandise wliich shall be im¬ 
ported in vessels not of the United States, entitled at the 
time of such importation by treaty or convention to be en¬ 
tered in the ports of the United States on payment of the 
same duties as shall then be payable on goods, wares, and

ported from such contiguous countries in the usual course 
of strictly retail trade. 

Sec. 23. That no goods, wares, or merchandise, unless 
in cases provided for by treaty, shall be imported into the 
United States from any foreign port or place, except in 
vessels of the United States, or in such foreign vessels as

country of which the goods are the growth, production, or 
manufacture, or from which such goods, wares, of mer¬ 
chandise can only be, or most usually are, first shipped 
for transportation. All goods, wares, or merchandise im¬ 
ported contrary to this section, and the vessel wherein the 
same shall be imported, together with her cargo, tackle, 
apparel, and furniture, shall be forfeited to the United 
States; and such goods, wares, or merchandise, ship or 
vessel, and cargo shall be liable to be seized, prosecuted, 
and condemned in like manner, and under the same regu¬ 
lations, restrictions, and provisions as have been heretofore 
established for the recovery, collection, distribution, and 
remission of forfeitures to the United States by the several 
revenue laws. 

Sec. 24. That the preceding section shall not apply to 




131 


vessels or goods, wares, or merchandise imported in ves 
sels of a foreign nation which does not maintain a similar 
regulation against vessels of the United States. 

Sec. 25. That the importation of neat cattle and the 
hides of neat cattle from any foreign country into the 
United States is prohibited: Provided , That the operation 
of this section shall be suspended as to any foreign country 
or countries, or any parts of such country or countries, 
whenever the Secretary of the Treasury shall officially de¬ 
termine, and give public notice thereof that such importa¬ 
tion will not tend to the introduction or spread of conta¬ 
gious or infectious diseases among the cattle of the United 
States; and the Secretary of the Treasury Is hereby au¬ 
thorized and empowered, and it shall be his duty, to make 
all necessary orders and regulations to carry this section 
into effect, or to suspend the same as herein provided, and 
to send copies thereof to the proper officers in the United 
States, and to such officers or agents of the United States

court. 

Sec. 27. That upon the re-importation of articles once 
exported, of the growth, product, or manufacture of the 
United States, upon which no internal tax has been as¬ 
sessed or paid, or upon which such tax has been paid and 
refunded by allowance or drawback, there shall be levied, 
collected, and paid a duty equal to the tax imposed by the 
internal-revenue laws upon such articles, except articles 
manufactured in bonded warehouses and exported pursu¬ 
ant to law, which shall be subject to the same rate of duty 
as if originally imported. 

Sec. 28. That whenever any vessel laden with merchan¬ 
dise, in whole or in part subject to duty, has been sunk in 
any river, harbor, bay, or waters subject to the jurisdiction 
of the United States, and within its limits, for the period 
of two years, and is abandoned by the owner thereof, any 
person who may raise such vessel shall be permitted to 




132 


bring any merchandise recovered therefrom into the port 
nearest to the place where such vessel was so raised free 
from the payment of any duty thereupon, but under such 
regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury may pre¬ 
scribe. 

Sec. 29. That the works of manufacturers engaged in 
smelting or refining metals, or both smelting and refining, 
in the United States may be designated as bonded ware¬ 
houses under such regulations as the Secretary of the 
Treasury may prescribe: Provided, That such manufac¬ 
turers shall first give satisfactory bonds to the Secretary 
of the Treasury. Ores or metals in any crude form requir¬ 
ing smelting or refining to make them readily available in 
the arts, imported into the United States to be smelted or 
refined and intended to be exported in a refind but un¬ 
manufactured state, shall, under such rules as the Secre¬ 
tary of the Treasury may prescribe, and under the direc¬ 
tion of the proper officer, be removed in original pack¬ 
ages or in bulk from the vessel or other vehicle on which 
they have been imported, or from the bonded warehouse 
in which the same may be, into the bonded warehouse in 
which such smelting or refining, or both, may be car¬ 
ried on, for the purpose of being smelted or refined, or 
both, without payment of duties thereon, and may there 
be smelted or refined, together with other metals of home 
or foreign production: Provided, That each day a quantity 
of refined metal equal to ninety per centum of the amount 
of imported metal smelted or refined that day shall be set 
aside, and such metal so set aside shall not be taken from 
said works except for transportation to another bonded 
warehouse or for exportation, under the direction of the 
proper officer having charge thereof as aforesaid, whos^ 
certificate, describing the articles by their marks or other¬ 
wise, the quantity, the date of importation, and the name 
of vessel or other vehicle by which it was imported, with 
such additional particulars as may from time to time be 
required, shall be received by the collector of customs as 
sufficient evidence of the exportation of the metal, or it 
may be removed under such regulations as the Secretary 
of the Treasury may prescribe, upon entry and payment 





133 


of duties, for domestic consumption, and the exportation 
of the ninety per centum of metals hereinbefore provided 
for shall entitle the ores and metals imported under the 
provisions of this section to admission without payment of 
the duties thereon: Provided further , That in respect to 
lead ores imported under the provisions of this section the 
refined metal set aside shall either be re-exported or the 
regular duties paid thereon within six months from the 
date of the receipt of the ore. All labor performed and ser¬ 
vices rendered under these regulations shall be under the 
supervision of an officer of the customs, to be appointed by 
the Secretary of the Treasury, and at the expense of the 
manufacturer. 

Sec. 30. That where imported materials on which duties 
have been paid are used in the manufacture of articles 
manufactured or produced in the United States, there 
shall be allowed on the exportation of such articles a draw¬ 
back equal in amount to the duties paid on the materials 
used, less one per centum of such duties: Provided, That 
when the articles exported are made in part from domestic 
materials the imported materials, or the parts of the arti¬ 
cles made from such materials, shall so appear in the com¬ 
pleted articles that the quantity or measure thereof may 
be ascertained: And provided further , That the drawback 
on any article allowed under existing law shall be con¬ 
tinued at the rate herein provided. That the imported 
materials used in the manufacture or production of articles 
entitled to drawback of customs duties when exported shall, 
in all cases where drawback of duties paid on such mate¬ 
rials is claimed, be identified, the quantity of such mate¬ 
rials used and the amount of duties paid thereoq. shall be 
ascertained, the facts of the manufacture or production of 
such articles in the United States and their exportation 
therefrom shall be determined, and the drawback due 
thereon shall be paid to the manufacturer, producer, or ex¬ 
porter, to the agent of either or to the person to whom 
such manufacturer, producer, exporter, or agent shall in 
writing order such drawback paid, under such regulations 
as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe. 

Sec. 31. That all goods, wares, articles, and merchandise 





134 


manufactured wholly or in part in any foreign country b> 
convict labor shall not be entitled to entry at any of the 
ports of the United States, and the importation thereof is 
hereby prohibited, and the Secretary of the Treasury is 
authorized and directed to prescribe such regulations as 
may be necessary for the enforcement of this provision. 

Sec. 32. That sections seven and eleven of the Act en¬ 
titled “An Act to simplify the laws in relation to the col¬ 
lection of the revenues,” approved June 10th, eighteen 
hundred and ninety, be ,and the same are hereby, amended 
so as to read as follows: 

Sec. 7. That the owner, consignee, or agent of any im¬ 
ported merchandise which has been actually purchased 
may, at the time when he shall make and verify his writ¬ 
ten entry of such merchandise, but not afterwards, make 
such addition in the entry to the cost or value given in the 
invoice or pro forma invoice or statement in form of an in¬ 
voice, which he shall produce with his entry, as in his 
opinion may raise the same to the actual market value or 
wholesale price of such merchandise at the time of exporta¬ 
tion to the United States, in the principal markets of the 
country from which the same has been imported; but no 
such addition shall be made upon entry to the invoice value 
of any imported merchandise obtained otherwise than by 
actual purchase; and the collector within whose district 
any merchandise may be imported or entered, whether the 
same has been actually purchased or procured otherwise 
than by purchase, shall cause the actual market value or 
wholesale price of such merchandise to be appraised; and 
if the appraised value of any article of imported merchan¬ 
dise subject to an ad valorem duty or to a duty based upon 
or regulated in any manner by the value thereof shall 
exceed the value declared in the entry, there shall be levied, 
collected, and paid, in addition to the duties imposed by 
law on such merchandise, an additional duty of one per 
centum of the total appraised value thereof for each one 
per centum that such appraised value exceeds the value 
declared in the entry, but the additional duties shall only 
apply to the particular article or articles in each invoice 
that are so undervalued, and shall be limited to fifty per 





135 


centum of the appraised value of such article or articles. 
Such additional duties shall not be construed to be penal, 
and shall not be remitted, nor payment thereof in any way 
avoided, except in cases arising from a manifest clerical 
error, nor shall they be refunded in case of exportation ol 
the merchandise, or on any other account, nor shall they 
be subject to the benefit of drawback: Provided , That if 
the appraised value of any merchandise shall exceed the 
value declared in the entry by more than fifty per centum, 
except when arising from a manifest clerical error, such 
entry shall be held to be presumptively fraudulent, and the 
collector of customs shall seize such merchandise and pro¬ 
ceed as in case of forfeiture for violation of the customs 
laws, and in any legal proceeding that may result from 
such seizure, the undervaluation as shown by the appraisal 
shall be presumptive evidence of fraud, and the burden of 
proof shall be on the claimant to rebut the same and for¬ 
feiture shall be adjudged unless he shall rebut such pre¬ 
sumption of fraudulent intent by sufficient evidence. The 
forfeiture provided for in this section shall apply to the 
whole of the merchandise or the value thereof in the case 
or package containing the particular article or articles in 
each invoice which are undervalued: Provided further, 
That all additional duties, penalties or forfeitures applica¬ 
ble to merchandise entered by a duly certified invoice, shall 
be alike applicable to merchandise entered by a pro forma 
invoice or statement in the form of an invoice, and no for¬ 
feiture or disability of any kind, incurred under the provis¬ 
ions of this section shall be remitted or mitigated by the 
Secretary of the Treasury. The duty shall not, however, 
be assessed in any case upon an amount less than the in¬ 
voice or entered value. , 

•Sec. ii. That, when the actual market value as defined 
by law, of any article of imported merchandise, wholly or 
partly manufactured and subject to an ad valorem duty, 
or to a duty based in whole or in part on value, cannot be 
otherwise ascertained to the satisfaction of the appraising 
officer, such officer shall use all available means in his 
power to ascertain the cost of production of such merchan¬ 
dise at the time of exportation to the United States, and ai 




136 


the place of manufacture; such cost of production to in¬ 
clude the cost of materials and of fabrication, all general 
expenses covering each and every outlay of whatsoever 
nature incident to such production, together with the ex¬ 
pense of preparing and putting up such merchandise ready 
for shipment, and an addition of not less than eight nor 
more than fifty per centum upon the total cost as thus 
ascertained; and in no case shall such merchandise be ap¬ 
praised upon original appraisal or reappraisement at less 
than the total cost of production as thus ascertained. It 
shall be lawful for appraising officers, in determining the 
dutiable value of such merchandise, to take into considera¬ 
tion the wholesale price at which such or similar merchan¬ 
dise is sold or offered for sale in the United States, due 
allowance being made for estimated duties thereon, the 
cost of transportation, insurance, and other necessary ex¬ 
penses from the place of shipment to the United States, 
and a reasonable commission, if any has been paid, not 
exceeding six per centum. 

Sec. 33. That on and after the day when this Act shall 
go into effect all goods, wares, and merchandise previously 
imported, for which no entry has been made, and all goods, 
wares, and merchandise previously entered without pay¬ 
ment of duty and under bond for warehousing, transporta¬ 
tion, or any other purpose, for which no permit of delivery 
to the importer or his agent has been issued, shall be sub 
jected to the duties imposed by this Act and to no other 
duty, upon the entry or the withdrawal thereof: Provided, 
That when duties are based upon the weight of merchan¬ 
dise deposited in any public or private bonded warehouse, 
said duties shall be levied and collected upon the weight 
of such merchandise at the time of its entry. 

Sec. 34. That sections one to twenty-four, both inclusive, 
of an Act entitled “An Act to reduce taxation, to provide 
revenue for the Government, and for other purposes/* 
which became a law on the twenty-eighth day of August, 
eighteen hundred and ninety-four, and all acts and parts of 
acts inconsistent with the provisions of this Act are hereby 
repealed, said repeal to take effect on and after the passage 
of this Act, but the repeal of existing laws or modifications 




137 


thereof embraced in this Act shall not affect any act done, 
or any right accruing or accrued, or any suit or proceeding 
had or commenced in any civil cause before the said repeal 
or modification; but all rights and liabilities under said 
laws shall continue and may be enforced in the same man¬ 
ner as if said repeal or modifications had not been made. 
Any offenses committed and all penalties or forfeitures or 
liabilities incurred prior to the passage of this Act under 
any statute embraced in or changed, modified, or repealed 
by this Act may be prosecuted or punished in the same 
manner and with the same effect as if this Act had not 
been passed. All Acts of limitation, whether applicable to 
civil causes and proceedings or to the prosecution of of¬ 
fenses or for the recovery of penalties or forfeitures em¬ 
braced in or modified, changed, or repealed by this Act 
shall not be affected thereby; and all suits, proceedings, or 
prosecutions, whether civil or criminal, for causes arising 
or acts done or committed prior to the passage of this Act 
may be commenced and prosecuted within the same time 
and with the same effect as if this Act had not been passed: 
And provided further, That nothing in this Act shall be 
construed to repeal the provisions of section three thousand 
and fifty-eight of the Revised Statutes as amended by the 
Act approved February twenty-third, eighteen hundred and 
eighty-seven, in respect to the abandonment of merchan¬ 
dise to underwriters or the salvors of property, and the 
ascertainment of duties thereon: And provided further, 
That nothing in this Act shall be construed to repeal or in 
any manner affect the sections numbered seventy-three, 
seventy-four, seventy-five, seventy-six, and seventy-seven 
of an Act entitled “An Act to reduce taxation, to provide 
revenue for the Government, and for other purposes,” 
which became a law on the twenty-eighth day of August

the collector, in a sum equal to the duties on like

personally make an oath such as is prescribed in the 
preceding section. Sec. 2,800, R. S. 

On compliance with the two preceding sections, 
and not otherwise, a permit shall be granted for 
landing such articles. But whenever the collector 
and the naval officer, if any, think proper, they may 
direct the baggage of any person arriving within the 
United States to be examined by the surveyor of the

make a return of the same; and if any articles are

Wool. All wools, hair of the camel, goat, alpaca, and other 
like animals, shall be divided, for the purpose of 
fixing the duties to be charged thereon, into 
classes 1, 2 and 3, as described below. 

The standard samples of all wools which are 
now or may be hereafter deposited in the princi¬ 
pal custom houses of the United States, under the 
authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, shall 
be the standards for the classification of wools 
under this Act, and the Secretary of the Treasury 
is authorized to renew these standards and to 
make such additions to them from time to time 
as may be required, and he shall cause to 
be deposited like standards in other customhouses 
of the United States when they may be needed. 

The duty on wools of the first class which shall 
be imported washed shall be twice the amount of 
the duty to which they would be subjected if inn 



























ported unwashed ; and the duty on wools of 
the first and second classes which shall be im¬ 
ported scoured shall be three times the duty to 
which they would be subjected if imported un¬ 
washed. 

The duty upon wool of the sheep or hair of the 
camel, Angora goat, alpaca, and other like 
animals, of class one and class two, which shall 
be imported in any other than ordinary condition, 
or which has been sorted or increased in value 
by the rejection of any part of the original fleece, 
shall be twice the duty to which it would be 
otherwise subject: Provided . That skirted wools 
as imported in eighteen hundred and ninety and 
prior thereto are hereby excepted. The duty 
upon wool of the sheep or hair of the camel, 
Angora goat, alpaca, and other like animals of 
any class which shall be changed in its character 
or condition for the purpose of evading the duty, 
or which shall be reduced in value by the ad¬ 
mixture of dirt or any other foreign substance, 
shall be twice the duty to which it would be other¬ 
wise subject. When the duty assessed upon any 
wool equals three times or more that which 
would be assessed if said wool was imported un¬ 
washed, it shall not be doubled on account of its 
being sorted. If any bale or package of wool or 
hair specified in this Act invoiced or entered as 
of any specified class, or claimed by the importer 
to be dutiable as of any specified class, shall con¬ 
tain any wool or hair subject to a higher rate of 
duty than the class so specified, the whole bale or 
package shall be subject to the highest rate of 
duty chargeable on wool of the class subject to 
such higher rate of duty, and if any bale or pack¬ 
age be claimed by the importer to be shoddy, 
mungo, flocks wool, hair, or other material of 
any class specified in this Act, and such bale con¬ 
tain any admixture of any one or more of said 
materials, or of any other material, the whole 
bale or package shall be subject to duty at the 
highest rate imposed upon any article in said bale 
or package, ss. 25 168. 

Wools on the skin shall pay one cent less than 
other wools, the quantity and value to be ascer¬ 
tained under such rules as the Secretary of the 
Treasury may prescribe. 

Class one, that is to say, merino, mestiza, metz, 
or metis wools, or other wools of Merino blood, 
immediate or remote, Down clothing wools, and

imported into the United States from Buenos 
Ayres, New Zealand, Australia, Cape of Good 
Hope, Russia, Great Britain, Canada, Egypt, 
Morocco, and elsewhere, and all wools not here¬ 
inafter included in classes two and three. 

Unwashed wools shall be considered such as 
shall have been shorn from the sheep without any 
cleansing; that is, in their natural condition. 


Wool, Class 1, unwashed ss. 25,424. per lb. 11 cts. 

Washed wools shall be considered such as 
have been washed with water only on the 
sheep’s back, or on the skin.

fore usually imported into the United States from 
Turkey, Greece, Syria, and elsewhere, excepting 
improved wools hereinafter provided for. 

Whenever wools of class three shall have been 
improved by the admixture of Merino or English 
blood, from their present character as represented

of the Swiss conventional tariff rates, by which action in 
the judgment of the President reciprocal and equivalent 
concessions are established in favor of the said products of 
the United States : 

Now, therefore, be it known that I, Theodore Roose¬ 
velt, President of the United States of America, acting 
under the authority conferred by the third section of the 
tariff act of the United States approved July 24, 1897, do 
hereby suspend during the continuance in force of the said 
concessions by the Government of Switzerland the imposi-

ing the products of the soil and industry of Switzerland ; 
and do declare in place thereof the following rates of duty 
provided in the third section of said act to be in force and 
effect from and after the date of this Proclamation, of 
which the officers and citizens of the United States will 
take due notice, namely : 

Upon argols, or crude tartar, or wine lees, crude, five 
per centum ad valorem. 

Upon brandies, or other spirits manufactured or dis¬ 
tilled from grain or other materials, one dollar and seventy- 
five cents per proof gallon.

bottles or jugs containing each not more than one quart 
and more than one pint, or twenty-four bottles or jugs 
containing each not more than one pint, one dollar and 
twenty-five cents per case, and any excess beyond these 
quantities found in such bottles or jugs shall be subject to 
a duty of four cents per pint or fractional part thereof, but 
no separate or additional duty shall be assessed upon the 
bottles or jugs. 

Upon paintings in oil or water colors, pastels, pen and 
ink drawings, and statuary, fifteen per centum ad valorem. 

In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand 
and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. 

Done at the City of Washington this first day of January, 
in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hun 
dred and six, and of the Independence of the

prior to December 29, 1897, or made from skins taken in 
waters other than the North Pacific Ocean, or if from those 
waters, prior to above date, the articles will be taken 
possession of and sent to the public stores for careful ex¬ 
amination and inspection, in accordance with paragraph 5 
of the regulations of December 30, 1897 (Synopsis 18718); 
and unless proof is produced within one year showing that 
the articles were not made from fur-seal skins taken in the 
waters of the North Pacific Ocean after December 29, 1897, 
the same shall be deemed prohibited, and held subject to 
the orders of this Department for destruction in accord¬ 
ance with section 9 of the act. (Synopses 18807 and 18886.) 

V. 

Tourists or immigrants arriving from abroad with seal¬ 
skin garments must present to the collector an invoice

PURE FOOD ACT OF MARCH 3, 1903. 

The act approved March 3, 1903, entitled “An Act mak¬ 
ing appropriations for the Department of Agriculture for 
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904” (32 Stat., p. 1157), 
provides as follows : 

To investigate the adulteration of foods, drugs, and liquors, when deemed 
by the Secretary of Agriculture advisable; and the Secretary of Agriculture, 
whenever he has reason to believe that articles are being imported from for¬ 
eign countries which by reason of such adulteration are dangerous to the 
health of the people of the United States, or which are forbidden to be sold 
or restricted in sale in the countries in which they are made or from which 
they are exported, or which 6hall be falsely labeled in any respect in regard 
to the place of manufacture or the contents of the package, shall make a re¬ 
quest upon the Secretary of the Treasury for samples from original packages 
of such articles for inspection and analysis; and the Secretary of the Treas¬ 
ury is hereby authorized to open such original packages and deliver speci¬ 
mens to the Secretary of Agriculture for the purpose mentioned, giving 
notice to the owner or consigne e of such articles, who may be present and 
have the right to introduce testimony; and the Secretary of the Treasury 
shall refuse delivery to the consignee of any such goods which the Secretary 
of Agriculture reports to him have been inspected and analyzed and found 
to be dangerous to health, or which are forbidden to be sold or restricted in 
sale in the countries in which they are made or from which they are export¬ 
ed, or which shall be fa^ely labeled in any respect in regard to the place of 
manufacture or the contents of the package. 

Under this provision of law, the Secretary of the Treas¬ 
ury has authority, upon request from the Secretary of 
Agriculture, to direct drawing by officers of the customs 
of samples at any custom-house from original packages of 
imported food products, drugs, and liquors, and to refuse 
to deliver to the consignees any such commodities as the 
Secretary of Agriculture may report to him as found, upon 
analysis, to be dangerous to health, or which are forbidden 
to be sold, or which are restricted in sale, in the countries 
in which they are made, or from which they are exported, 
or which shall be falsely labeled in any respect in regard 
to the place of manufacture or the contents of the package. 


FOOD INSPECTION DECISION. 

Labeling Imported Food Products. 

By reason of representations which were made before 
this Department on June 14 by a committee representing 






G50 


the importers of New York, it is hereby ordered that all 
cases of inspection of imported food products to date, 
where exclusion thereof has been required by reason of 
misbranding or false labeling, may be reopened with per¬ 
mission to relabel, if granted by the Secretary of the 
Treasury, under supervision of an official detailed from the 
Treasury Department for that purpose. These labels shall 
be in the form of a paster attached securely to, or just 
above or below the principal label, in a manner not to be 
easily detached, and bearing a legend showing the con¬ 
tents of the package not of the nature represented by the 
principal label, in letters not smaller in size than long 
primer caps of the usual facing, such labels to be submitted 
to the proper representative of this Department and be ap¬ 
proved as satisfactory before the release of the invoice. 

In order to more clearly set forth the requirements of 
this Department as contained in Circulars 18 and 21 of the 
Bureau of Chemistry (F. I. D. 4 and 5) and in other publi¬ 
cations of the Department, the following general princi¬ 
ples of labeling of food products are to be observed : 

1. A food product should be designated by its usual 
name, English name preferred, and need not bear any fur¬ 
ther description of its components or qualities. Food 
products which are prepared by established processes of 
refining need not bear upon the label any statement re¬ 
specting the refining process. For illustration, the term 
“flour” is sufficient for the food product known by that 
name ; the term “ olive oil ” is sufficient for the food prod¬ 
uct known by that name. The usual processes of manu¬ 
facture and refining in these cases are not required to be 
stated. 

2. When any foreign substance is added to a food prod¬ 
uct other than that necessary to its manufacture or refin¬ 
ing, the label should bear a statement to that effect. For 
instance, a food product which is artificially colored or to 
which a preservative has been added should have these 
facts appear upon the label. If a substance which itself is 
not a coloring matter be added to a food product for the 
purpose of preserving or intensifying the natural color of 
the food, the name of the substance shall be specifically 







651 


mentioned, as, for instance, when sulphate of copper is 
used to intensify or preserve the green color of food 
products. 

3. Where a substance which is generally understood to 
have specific qualities in the preparation of a food product 
is replaced by another substance either of a similar nature 
or entirely different thereto but with some of the same 
qualities, the name of the substituted substance should ap¬ 
pear upon the label. For instance, sugar is the usual 
sweetening substance in the preparation of certain food 
products. If the sugar is wholly or in part replaced by 
another substance, such as glucose, that fact should ap¬ 
pear. If the sweetening substance used be saccharin, a 
substance which is not related to sugars at all, the label 
should indicate such substitution. Where olive oil is used 
in the preparation of foods and where it is understood,by 
the term “ oil ” that olive oil is indicated, the substitution 
of any other edible oil for the olive oil should be noted on 
the label. 

4. Where a substance is made up of fragments or scraps 
of the material usually known by the name upon the label, 
the name of the substance alone will be deemed a mis¬ 
branding. For instance, if the fragments of stems and 
pieces of mushrooms which remain after the canning of 
the mushrooms themselves be labeled “ mushrooms ” alone 
it will be deemed misbranding. Such a package should be 
labeled “ pieces and stems of mushrooms” or some simi¬ 
lar appellation. If the cores and peelings of apples be 
labeled “apples” alone a similar condition is presented 
and the name will be deemed insufficient and misleading. 

5. If any essential or important ingredient of a food prod- 
duct be abstracted, and such abstraction is not necessary 
or usual in the preparation or refining of such food body, 
the label should plainly indicate the ingredient thus re¬ 
moved. For instance, if a portion of the butter fat be re¬ 
moved from milk, even if there remain a sufficient quantity 
of butter fat to comply with the standard, such an abstrac¬ 
tion is to be noted upon the label. 

6. A food product which is misbranded in respect to the 
locality or country where it is made, produced, or manu- 




652 


factured, under the provisions of the law is misbranded 
and is not entitled to entry. For instance, if the product 
of one country, as the olive oils of Spain, be sent to an 
Italian port and there bottled and labeled as Italian oil, 
such a label will be deemed to be a misbranding. If wine 
grown in Algeria or Italy be bottled in France as a French 
wine it will be deemed a misbranded product. 

7. If a food product bear a name which is in any way mis¬ 
leading in regard to the quality, character, or origin of the 
product it is a misbranding under the law and is a suffi¬ 
cient cause for the exclusion of the goods covered by the 
invoice from entry. 

8. The addition of the ordinary condimental substances 
to a food product, such as sugar, vinegar, salt, spices, and 
wood smoke, may be practiced without any notice to this 
effect appearing upon the label. 

9. Food products of any given name are to correspond 
in quality to the standards established by authority of 
Congress for such products, and if they vary from this 
standard a notice to that effect is to appear upon the label. 

10. The presentation of properly labeled food products 
as outlined above does not insure their admission. Such 
products, even when properly labeled, may be refused en¬ 
try because of threatened injury to health or because they 
are of a nature forbidden in the country in which they are 
made or from which they are exported. 

11. The principal label on a food product, that is, the 
part of the label which declares the character of the prod¬ 
uct, should not be connected with any statement relating 
to the wholesomeness or hygienic qualities of the product 
itself, nor should it contain any reference to the laws re¬ 
lating to such products either applying to the country 
where made or to this country. These are questions 
which are reserved especially for the consideration of this 
Department by act of Congress, and any attempt to preju¬ 
dice the consumer regarding the matter should not be con¬ 
nected in any way with the label itself. 

12. The actual form and character of the Idbel are left to 
the judgment of the manufacturer. The regulations re¬ 
quire certain notings of added substances to be in the Eng- 



653 


lish language and of a size and distinctness easily legible 
and occuping a position directly on the label and not to 
the side nor on the margin, nor in any position where the 
label itself could be read without the attention of the 
reader being directed to the name of the added substance 
or other special inscription. 

13. The privilege of relabeling* after arrival at a port in 
this country, as hereby extended, shall cease on and af¬ 
ter September 1, 1905, thus giving ample time for all 
cargoes now afloat to reach our ports.. 

14. The name of the added substance or of the abstracted 
substance required by the above regulations should ap¬ 
pear as nearly as possible in connection with the name of 
the food product upon the original label and in a position 
as conspicuous as that of the food product itself and as 
legible. The size of type required, namely, not smaller 
than long primer caps, is the minimum size which it is 
deemed would be easily legible to a consumer in looking 
at a package of food products as offered him in ordinary 
trade. The letters should be not less in size nor less dis¬ 
tinct in facing than the following legend : 

COLORED WITH SULPHATE OF COPPER, 

and in all cases this descriptive matter is to be printed in 
the English language, whatever be the language used in 
naming the food product. In all food products packed subse¬ 
quent to September 1, 1905, the descriptive matter men¬ 
tioned in this circular as necessary for proper labeling will 
be required to be a part of the original label and not at¬ 
tached as a paster. In food products packed and labeled 
prior to September 1, 1905, the paster above described will 
be admitted upon certificate of this fact until May 1, 1906, 
after which only original labels of correct form are to be 
admitted as sufficient for the purpose of correct labeling. 

Previous decisions not in harmony with the present or¬ 
der are hereby modified in accordance with the above 
regulations. 

Approved: \ 

James Wilson, 

Secretary of Agriculture. 

Washington, D. C., June 22, 1905.
